May 21, 200618 yr There's dude's on here who'll tell you of hundreds of sounds they've let slip through their fingers. I prefer collecting rather than trading. Trading gives me the fear, as records I have parted with have always either gone massive, shot up in value, or both. Then the thing is which ones do you really miss cos they were good records, or are you just miffed as the price has rocketed? Keeping it to a few (as I say there's always loads) recent departures include; Rosebuds - Say you'll be mine (TOWER) Ringleaders - Baby what has happened to our love (M-PAC) Pat & the Blenders - Just because (FAST EDDIE) Futures - Part time party time (PIR) Ace Spectrum - Don't send nobody else (ATLANTIC) Most miffed about Pat & the Blenders as it's a good record. It was the one with the rare b side and, wait for this... I gave it away! Second has to be the Ringleaders cos I sold it for £15 just before it went huge. Others less bothered about, least of all the Rosebuds as it's w*nk imho. So if you swapped the Cairos for a bag of marbles, I wanna hear about it fools! Hey and maybe a few others eh?

Ralph 'Soul' Jackson to Flanny Barrino Brothers to Paul Sadot The only two soul records I have ever sold before I have another copy. I always regret selling any rare record even when I have two of them. After selling a Palmer demo of Jimmy Mack even though I have an issue it was the first thing I thought of when I woke up next morning. I guess I'm as much a hoarder as a collector.

May 24, 200618 yr When Paul B came along so Cathy B was not earning, and interest rates went up to 15%, and I went on a 3 day week, I sold my issue of Let My Heart and Soul Be Free/Whats the Use Of Me Trying by the Tangeers for a fiver, along with other classics such as a Saxie Russell Thomas demo etc. to one of the Burnley crew. I was off the scene then and didn't know the values, but this mate knew and even tried to barter me down!!! I know ethics doesn't come into it, but how many of you knowing my circumstances at that time, and being a fellow soulie, would have done that, or might some of you have kindly illuminated me on the true value?
